Chapter 211 Return
Lang Yi's words interrupted all suspicions and directly confirmed the legend of the dark beast.
And the legend is no longer a legend, but a cruel reality.
Ah Hui couldn't get over the cause of her partner's death for a long time, but the urgency of reality did not give her much time to indulge in grief.
She held her young cub and gathered with the other females, her eyes wide open in confusion in the darkness.
Mu Qingqing followed Lang Yi's advice and acted quickly. She gathered all the clansmen in the two-story building that had previously been used as a warehouse.
It was the most spacious place in the entire tribe, but even so, it was still too crowded to accommodate hundreds of people, so Mu Qingqing took out many bunk beds from the space.
After settling the tribesmen, more than fifty powerful orcs led by Leopard Sel formed several groups and began to take turns on duty.
They guarded various key locations in the two-story building, including the front door, the back door and every window.
The shifts are every five hours.
In addition, an independent team was specially sent out to investigate the situation. It is impossible to just sit there and wait for death.
This is a very dangerous job. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Even so, many orcs still raised their hands to sign up without hesitation.
And the person who led them was Lang Yi.
Lang Yi was simply curious about what the dark beast looked like. Another thing was that if he could figure out the truth about the dark beast, then the dire situation in Wanshou City might actually turn around.
When Lang Yi was leading the orcs to go out, Mu Qingqing gave them a hundred-meter-long rope. They held the rope and walked forward. Once an accident happened, everyone would be able to quickly alert. Not only that, she also equipped everyone with a gun.
Under the worried eyes of the tribesmen, Lang Yi's team set off.
Mu Qingqing stood at the door, and did not look away until even the strong flashlight could no longer see their backs.
After all the trouble she had just now, she just felt exhausted.
"Mom, please sit down for a moment."
Mo Lin quickly brought over a chair.
Mo Xiao, who was standing next to him, also froze in place holding a chair.
He silently put down the chair, glanced at the tactless kid, then sat down on the chair himself and secretly grabbed Mu Qingqing's hand.
From the brief light that lasted only three seconds, one could see the rope shaking slightly occasionally. Every tremor would make the tribesmen's hearts hang in the balance, fearing that the rope would suddenly break or shake violently.
That means danger is coming!
The females and cubs in the house were very quiet, even their breathing became cautious. The more tense the moment was, the more they could not cause trouble to their fellow tribesmen.
At around four o'clock in the morning, many tribesmen began to yawn as they could not bear the sleepiness. Normally, they could stay up for one or two nights without any problem, but being so tense was a very draining thing. Before they knew it, some of the tribesmen slowly fell asleep leaning against the wall.
In the darkness, Mo Xiao's fingertips gently stroked Mu Qingqing's wrist, bringing an ambiguous tingling sensation.
"Go get some sleep, I'm here."
Mu Qingqing refused without hesitation.
How could she possibly sleep in this situation?
Not to mention that the strange beasts might threaten the lives of the cubs, she had developed feelings for the tribe members after living with them for a long time, and she didn't want to see any of them get hurt or die.
Mu Qingqing yawned lightly and suddenly remembered something, "Where's the baby?"
It seems that I haven’t seen the little beast since then.
Mo Lin quickly turned on the flashlight and looked around. He muttered to himself in confusion: "The person who was here just now..."
"Could he have sneaked out?"
Mu Qingqing's expression changed immediately, and she stood up from the chair, but suddenly she felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Mo Xiao supported her immediately.
At the same time, he pursed his lips slightly, and with a tough attitude that showed no refusal, he pulled Mu Qingqing to an empty bed and pressed her down.
"You take a nap first, I'll go find the cub..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a commotion at the door.
Lang Yi and the others are back!
Mu Qingqing insisted on going over but was stopped by Mo Xiaohan with a stern face. Realizing that he was really angry, Mu Qingqing had no choice but to lie down on the bed obediently. As a result, she fell into a deep sleep in less than a minute.
Lang Yi and the orcs came back one by one, panting heavily.
Lang Yi sat down on the chair, and it took him a while to calm down. He took the bottle of mineral water that Mo Lin handed to him and took a sip. Then he saw Mo Xiao looking straight at him and spoke slowly.
“It was also pitch black outside the tribe. We heard some noise but couldn’t see it clearly.”
The voices began to become noisy.
The orcs who went to check with Lang Yi also told what they saw.
"I only saw a huge black shadow flashing past me..."
"It has no face, it's not a beast, it's like a ball of black mist..."
"He was very fast, he disappeared in the blink of an eye..."
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts; it seemed that something unclean had really entered the tribe.
Just as everyone was talking, the sound of bells came from not far away, which made people feel creepy.
Lang Yi subconsciously picked up the flashlight and shone it, then he saw the baby running towards him with something in its mouth and the little bell on its neck swinging.
Mo Xiao squatted down and took the thing out of its mouth.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the gloves of the other three missing patrolling tribesmen!
"Where are they?" Mo Xiao asked.
The cub howled towards the woods not far away.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao immediately wanted to go over to check, but was stopped by Lang Yi.
"There's no rush to go with you after I rest for a while."
Mo Xiao said lightly.
"No, I can go by myself."
As he spoke, he walked straight into the darkness.
Mo Lin looked at his father's back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He clenched his fists and shouted at the darkness.
"Father, I'll wait for you to come back."
Not far away, his low and soothing voice could be heard faintly.
"understood."
Only then did Mo Lin withdraw his gaze.
Lang Yi at the side laughed and joked, "Are you worried about your father?"
Mo Lin’s flushed face could not be seen in the darkness.
He responded in a low voice.
"Your father is very powerful, he should be fine."
"Is it more powerful than the dark beast?"
Lang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, it's even more powerful than this."
